  1. Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
    And press with vigor on;
    A heavenly race demands your zeal,
    And an immortal crown.

  2. A cloud of witnesses around
    Holds you in full survey;
    Forget the steps already trod,
    And onward urge your way.

  3. For God's all-animating voice
    Still calls us to the race;
    And God's own hand still gives the prize
    With never-ending grace.

  4. O Saviour, shown the way by you,
    I have my race begun;
    And, crowned with victory, at your feet
    I'll lay my honors down. Amen.
